So I originally meant to write my review of the Amazon Kindle about a week after I got it. Instead its about a month later, but that just means there’s been more time to solidify my opinion of it. And my opinion is that it is really good.

To start out–as already said–the Kindle is the wonderful ebook reader from Amazon. This little oddball looking device has gotten me reading more than I had been recently, almost as much as in the past (which was considerable). Easily the first thing you’ll notce (aside from the look of the device you superficial person you), is the screen. The display being used is an E-Ink screen (from a company named E-Ink no-less), what’s so special is the way the screen works by using tiny little balls that are half white and half black. To minimize ghosting of the image there is a brief all-black flash to clean the screen, which doesn’t take long to get used to (unless your anal).
When I’m reading a novel on Kindle it really does disappear as when you’re reading any good paper book.

In the spirit of truthiness, I have not used any other ebook reader myself, however the reviews I’ve read all point to the Kindle being the best, to which I concur. To be true, there is some room for improvement, such as the screen refresh and why they only use 4 grays when the screen can do 8, but there will likely be a hardware rev down the line.
Anywho, If you don’t get what I’m trying to say it’s this: If you love to read and don’t care if it’s not on dead trees, get one now and enjoy!
